XpdfImageExtract
The XpdfImageExtract™ library/component provides access to the images in PDF files. It can extract the images to memory or disk, as well as simply generating a list of the images along with their size and color space information.
To clarify: XpdfImageExtract works with the raw bitmaps of images placed in a PDF file. It does not convert vector graphics or text to bitmaps.
XpdfImageExtract is easy to use:
pdf = new XpdfImageExtract.XpdfImageExtract
pdf.loadFile("input.pdf")
pdf.getImages(1) ' extract images on page 1
n = pdf.getNumImages
For i = 0 To n-1
pdf.getImageInfo(i, mask, colorSpace, w, h)
....
Next i
